Lesson One Educational Consultants provide
classroom modeling in every school classroom in order to share the ABCs
of Life with all teachers and students. Through research and experience,
Lesson One has discovered that working on-site with students and teachers
is the most successful way of implementing the ABCs of Life program into
the school culture. By “modeling” the strategies and methods,
participants can see how to implement the program first-hand. In order
to achieve this, Lesson One provides a comprehensive residency in your
school to ensure the program is thoroughly presented to both students
and staff.
The Lesson One residency begins with an experiential and activity oriented
workshop that introduces the skills to the staff, while focusing on the
Art of Teaching, which places an emphasis
on the integration of knowledge, technique, effective communication, discipline,
and creativity. The skills are then integrated into the school culture
through a series of interactive games and activities. Lesson One provides
teachers with all of the tools that they need to successfully integrate
the ABCs of Life into the school culture. Manipulatives, literature, workbooks,
and classroom discussions enable students to practice the skills in an
enjoyable and memorable way.
The program is implemented in two to three parts, depending on your school’s
needs. Each part consists of a one-week visit to the school. Part One
sets the foundation with the Pledge for Success, and the skills of self-control
and Self-Control Time. Parts Two and Three focus on the culminating skills
of self-confidence, responsibility, thinking and problem-solving and cooperation.
Each classroom receives four 1/2-hour visits from a Lesson One educational
consultant, during which time the consultant will model how to incorporate
the ABCs of Life into the classroom. Based upon discussions with your
school’s staff, Lesson One Educational Consultants will customize
the Lesson One program to meet the unique and specific needs of your school.
Lesson One consultants are always available to answer questions and discuss
ideas.
